Sounds helpful, right? But while the mirror is giving you information, it's taking your stats as well.

Magicmirror's sensors are also helpful in preventing theft: if you bring a pile of expensive goods into the dressing room, the mirror alerts sales staff.
The high tech mirrors are designed to get kids off of the Internet and into real stores to shop. It's invasive enough, however, that we can imagine it having the opposite effect and inducing more old fashioned types to choose clothes online
